The consolidated financial statements consist of the financial statements of China Auto Logistics Inc. (the “Company” or “China Auto”, and the following wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries of the Company: | ||
● | Ever Auspicious International Limited (“HKCo”), | |
● | Tianjin Seashore New District Shisheng Business Trading Group Co. Ltd. (“Shisheng”), | |
● | Tianjin Ganghui Information Technology Corp. (“Ganghui”), | |
● | Tianjin Hengjia Port Logistics Corp. (“Hengjia”), | |
● | Zhengji International Trading Corp. (“Zhengji”), | |
● | Tianjin Zhonghe Auto Sales Service Co., Ltd. (“Zhonghe”). | |
On November 10, 2008, China Auto, formerly Fresh Ideas Media, Inc. (“Fresh Ideas”), incorporated on February 22, 2005 in the State of Nevada, entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with HKCo. Under the Share Exchange Agreement, China Auto issued 1,950,000 (pre reverse split of 11,700,000) shares of its common stock to acquire all the issued and outstanding capital stock of HKCo. The closing of the Share Exchange Agreement occurred on the same day, immediately following the cancellation of an aggregate of 189,167 (pre reverse split of 1,135,000) shares of the Company’s common stock held by Phillip E. Ray and Ruth Daily, the Company’s principal stockholders immediately prior to the Closing, which was a condition of the Closing. Prior to the closing of the Share Exchange and the cancellation of shares stated above, the Company had a total of 1,255,833 (pre reverse split of 7,535,000) shares of common stock issued and outstanding. As a result of the Exchange, HKCo became the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary. Upon the closing of this transaction, the Company’s primary business operations are those of HKCo. Shortly after the closing, Fresh Ideas changed its name to China Auto Logistics Inc. | ||
HKCo was incorporated in Hong Kong on October 17, 2007. Prior to December 25, 2007, HKCo had minimal assets and no operations. On November 1, 2007, HKCo entered into a share exchange agreement with Cheng Weihong, Xia Qiming and Qian Yuxi (the “Seller”), pursuant to which the Sellers transferred their interests in Shisheng to HKCo for an aggregate purchase price of $12,067,254 (RMB95,000,000) which was paid via issuance of equity interests of HKCo. Upon the completion of this transaction on December 25, 2007, Shisheng became a wholly-owned foreign enterprise (“WFOE”) of HKCo and this arrangement was approved by the relevant ministries of the PRC government. As a result of this transaction, the owners and management of Shisheng end up controlling HKCo and thus this transaction was classified as a recapitalization of Shisheng using the purchase method of accounting. | ||
Upon the completion of the transactions on December 25, 2007 and November 10, 2008, the Company owned 100% of HKCo which owned 100% of Shisheng, the operating entity of the Company. For financial reporting purposes, these transactions are classified as a recapitalization of Shisheng and the historical financial statements of Shisheng are reported as China Auto’s historical financial statements. | ||
Shisheng was incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) on September 1, 1995. Shisheng’s business includes sales of both domestically manufactured automobiles and imported automobiles (“Sales of Automobiles”), providing financing services related to imported automobiles (“Financing Services”), and providing logistic services relating to the automobile importing process and other automobile value added services such as assistance with customs clearance, storage and nationwide delivery services (such services, “Automobile Value Added Services”). | ||
In August 2001, Shisheng formed Ganghui to provide web-based, real-time information on imported automobiles. Ganghui was 80% owned by Shisheng. | ||
In September 2003, Shisheng formed Hengjia to provide Automobile Value Added Services to wholesalers and distributors in the imported vehicle trading industry. Hengjia was 80% owned by Shisheng. | ||
In February 2005, Shisheng and three other founders formed Zhengji to enhance the imported automobile trading industry. Zhengji was 32% owned by Shisheng since 2005. In January 2007, Shisheng injected additional capital of $1,024,498 (equivalent to RMB 8,000,000) into Zhengji. Consequently, Shisheng's equity interest in Zhengji increased from 32% to 86.4%. | ||
On July 23, 2009, Shisheng entered into Share Transfer Agreements to acquire additional ownership interests from other noncontrolling interest shareholders to increase its ownership interests in its Ganghui, Hengjia and Zhengji to 98% each for an aggregate amount of $444,120. | ||
On November 1, 2010, Shisheng entered into a Share Transfer Agreement with the owners of Qizhong to acquire all issued and outstanding stocks of Qizhong and completed the acquisition simultaneously. Qizhong is engaged in the development and operation of the website www.goodcar.cn and the business of providing customers with information and discounted services relating to automobiles, including discounted gas, car washes, and body-shop repair and car maintenance. Beijing Goodcar Technology Development Co., Ltd. (“Beijing Goodcar”), Xiamen Goodcar Network Technology Co., Ltd. (“Xiamen Goodcar”), Wuhan Youlu Network Technology Co., Ltd (“Wuhan Youlu”), Chengdu Haoche Technology Development Co., Ltd. (“Chengdu Haoche”), Tianjin Goodcar Technology Development Co., Ltd (“Tianjin Goodcar”) and Chongqing Kaizhi Technology Co., Ltd. (“Kaizhi”) are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Qizhong (collectively, “Goodcar”). These services provided by Goodcar were then included in the Company’s segments of web-based advertising services and automobile value added services. | ||
During 2013 and 2012, the Company deregistered Qizhong and its the wholly owned subsidiaries, including Beijing Goodcar, Xiamen Goodcar, Wuhan Youlu, Chengdu Haoche, Tianjin Goodcar and Kaizhi. All of these subsidiaries’ operations have been assumed by their parent company, Qizhong. The Company has disposed of the majority of the assets of these subsidiaries and transferred the remaining net assets to the Company’s other subsidiaries. | ||
On November 22, 2013, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Tianjin Zhonghe Auto Sales Service Co., Ltd. (“Zhonghe”), entered into a Cooperation Framework Agreement with Car King (China) Used Car Trading Co., Ltd. (“Car King China”) with respect to the establishment of a joint venture, Tianjin Car King Used Car Trading Company Ltd. (“Car King Tianjin”) that will own and operate a used car business. The establishment of this joint venture was contingent upon the successful completion by the Company of the acquisition of Zhonghe which owns the Tianjin Airport International Auto Mall, where the used car business will be operated. Upon the acquisition of Zhonghe on November 30, 2013, the joint venture was established in accordance with the Cooperation Framework Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Articles of Association of Car King Tianjin, Zhonghe and Car King China will make capital contributions totaling RMB 8,000,000 and RMB 12,000,000, respectively, to Car King Tianjin, which will have total registered capital of RMB 20,000,000. Prior to being acquired by the Company, Zhonghe made an initial capital contribution of RMB 4,000,000 to Car King Tianjin in November 2013. The Company is entitled to 40% of Car King Tianjin’s net profit or loss. | ||
On November 30, 2013, Shisheng signed an agreement (the “Auto Mall Acquisition Agreement”) with Hezhong (Tianjin) International Development Co., Ltd. (“Hezhong”) to purchase 100% of the equity of Zhonghe, which owns and operates the Airport International Auto Mall. Under the terms of the Auto Mall Acquisition Agreement, Shisheng will pay RMB 559,768,000 (approximately $91.4 million) to Hezhong, in four annual installments with an annualized rate of interest of 6%. The initial payment of RMB 240,000,000 (approximately $38.8 million) was paid within 5 business days after the signing of the Agreement. Upon the payment by Shisheng of this first installment, Hezhong transferred control of Zhonghe to Shisheng. Failure by Shisheng to pay the remaining installments may result in the termination of the Auto Mall Acquisition Agreement, as well as a penalty of 10% of the total transfer price. |

-2 | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | ||||||||
Basis of Presentation | |||||||||
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). | |||||||||
Reverse Stock Split | |||||||||
On October 9, 2012, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment of its Articles of Incorporation to effect a one-for-six reverse split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. The Certificate of Amendment was effective upon filing on October 9, 2012. The Company’s stockholders, at a Special Meeting of Stockholders held on September 4, 2012, had previously authorized the Company’s Board of Directors to effect a reverse stock split at a ratio of up to one-for-six to be determined by the Board of Directors. There was no change to the authorized shares of common stock of the Company as a result of the reverse stock split. Any fraction of a share of common stock that would otherwise have resulted from the reverse split was rounded up to the next whole share. Accordingly, all references to numbers of common shares and per-share data in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effects of the reverse stock split. | |||||||||
Principles of Consolidation | |||||||||
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of China Auto and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in preparation of the consolidated financial statements. | |||||||||
Use of Estimates | |||||||||
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements include the collectibility of accounts receivable, the useful lives and impairment of property and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets, the valuation of deferred tax assets and inventories and the provisions for income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | |||||||||
Currency Reporting | |||||||||
Amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements are stated in US Dollars, unless stated otherwise. Our functional currency is the Renminbi (“RMB”). Foreign currency transactions (outside the PRC) are translated into RMB according to the prevailing exchange rate at the transaction dates. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet dates are translated into RMB at period-end exchange rates. For the purpose of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the consolidated balance sheets of our Company have been translated into US dollars at the current rates as of the end of the respective periods and the consolidated statements of income have been translated into US dollars at the weighted average rates during the periods the transactions were recognized. The resulting translation gain adjustments are recorded as other comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income and as a separate component of the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity. | |||||||||
Fair Value Disclosures of Financial Instruments | |||||||||
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact its business, and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. | |||||||||
As a basis for considering such assumptions, a three-tier fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs utilized in measuring fair value as follows: | |||||||||
● | Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | ||||||||
● | Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. | ||||||||
● | Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. | ||||||||
The hierarchy requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company has estimated the fair value amounts of its financial instruments using the available market information and valuation methodologies considered to be appropriate and has determined that the carrying value of the Company’s accounts receivable, receivables related to financing services, notes receivable, value added tax receivable, inventories, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, advances to suppliers, bank overdraft, lines of credit related to financing services, short-term borrowings, notes payable to suppliers, accrued expenses, customer deposits, deferred revenue, due to shareholders, due to director, and income tax payable as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 approximate fair value. | |||||||||
Other Comprehensive Income | |||||||||

The changes in other comprehensive income of $1,719,488 and $223,954 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, are foreign currency translation adjustments. | |||||||||
Concentrations of Credit Risk | |||||||||
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable and receivables related to financing services. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with reputable financial institutions with high credit ratings. | |||||||||
The Company conducts credit evaluations of customers and generally does not require collateral or other security from customers. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts primarily based upon the age of the receivables and factors relevant to determining the credit risk of specific customers. The amount of receivables ultimately not collected by the Company has generally been consistent with management's expectations and the allowance established for doubtful accounts. | |||||||||
Major Customers | |||||||||
During the year ended December 31, 2103, one customer accounted for 15.0% of the Company’s net revenue. During the years ended December 31, 2012, one customer accounted for 16.2% of the Company’s net revenue. | |||||||||

The Company’s deposits in banks located in the PRC are not protected by any insurance and such uninsured amounts totaled $14,997,279 and $8,850,433 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. | |||||||||
Restricted Cash | |||||||||
The Company is required to maintain certain amounts of cash in its banks to secure certain banks’ letters of credit issued to its customers, certain draws on its lines of credit, short-term borrowings and notes payable to suppliers. Restricted cash to secure these bank lines is not protected by any insurance and such restricted cash totaled $29,665,536 and $27,015,351 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. | |||||||||
Accounts and Notes Receivable | |||||||||
Accounts and notes receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management’s assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts, the aging of the accounts receivable, historical experience and other currently available evidence. Accounts and notes receivable are charged off against the allowance when collectability is determined to be permanently impaired. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had no allowance for doubtful accounts in respect of its accounts receivable; and had no allowance for doubtful accounts in respect of its notes receivable. | |||||||||
Receivables Related to Financing Services | |||||||||
The Company records a receivable related to financing services when cash is loaned to the customers to finance their purchases of automobiles. Upon repayments by the customers, the Company records the amounts as reductions of receivables related to financing services. Receivables related to financing services represent the aggregate outstanding balance of loans from customers related to their purchases of automobiles. The Company charges a fee for providing loan services and such fee is prepaid by the customers. The Company amortizes these fees over the receivable term, which is typically 90 days, using the straight-line method. The Company records such amortized amounts as financing fee income and the unamortized amount is classified as deferred revenue on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. | |||||||||
The Company evaluates the collectibility of outstanding receivables at the end of each of the reporting periods and makes estimates for potential credit losses. The Company has not experienced any losses on its receivable related to financing services historically and accordingly did not record any allowance of credit losses as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. | |||||||||
Inventories | |||||||||
Inventories consist primarily of the purchase cost of automobiles valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, reserve for obsolescence amounted to $193,379 and $0, respectively. | |||||||||
Property and Equipment, net | |||||||||
Property and equipment, net are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line basis method over the following estimated useful lives: | |||||||||
Buildings and land use rights | 31 years | ||||||||
Computers | 3 to 5 years | ||||||||
Office equipment, furniture and fixtures | 3 to 5 years | ||||||||
Leasehold improvements | 5 years | ||||||||
Automobiles | 5 years | ||||||||
Long-Lived Assets | |||||||||
Long-lived assets to be held and used are analyzed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of those assets are no longer appropriate. The Company evaluates at each balance sheet date whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. If there are indications of impairment, the Company uses future undiscounted cash flows of the related assets or asset grouping over the remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. In the event such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the recorded asset values, the assets are written down to their estimated fair value. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value of asset less disposal costs. The Company determined that there was no impairment of long-lived assets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. | |||||||||
Goodwill | |||||||||
Goodwill arising from business combinations represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets of the businesses acquired. | |||||||||
Goodwill is tested annually for impairment, during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year, or more frequently if circumstances indicate the possibility of impairment. Significant judgments required to estimate fair value include estimating future cash flows, and determining appropriate discount rates, growth rates and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value which could trigger impairment. | |||||||||
In evaluating goodwill for impairment using the two-step test to identify any potential impairment and to measure any amount of impairment, the first step is based upon a comparison of the fair value of each of the Company’s reporting units and the carrying value of the reporting unit’s net assets, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is considered not to be impaired; otherwise, step two is required. Under step two, the implied fair value of goodwill, calculated as the difference between the fair value of the reporting unit and the fair value of the reporting unit’s net assets, is compared with the carrying value of the goodwill. The excess of the carrying value of goodwill over the implied fair value represents the amount impaired. | |||||||||
The Company uses a combination of valuation techniques, primarily using discounted cash flows to determine the fair values of its reporting units and market based multiples as supporting evidence. The variables and assumptions used, all of which are level 3 fair value inputs, including the projections of future revenues and expenses, working capital, terminal values, discount rates and long term growth rates. The market multiples observed in sale transactions are determined separately for each reporting unit are based on the weighted average cost of capital determined for each of the Company’s reporting units. In addition we make certain judgments about the selection of comparable companies used in determining market multiples in valuing our reporting units, as well as certain assumptions to allocate shared assets and liabilities to calculate values for each of our reporting units. The underlying assumptions used are based on historical actual experience and future expectations that are consistent with those used in the Company’s strategic plan. The Company compares the fair value of each of its reporting units to their respective carrying values, including related goodwill. We also compare our book value and the estimates of fair value of the reporting units to our market capitalization as of and at dates near the annual testing date. Management uses this comparison as additional evidence of the fair value of the Company, as our market capitalization may be suppressed by other factors such as the control premium associated with a controlling shareholder, our leverage or general expectations regarding future operating results and cash flows. In situations where the implied value of the Company under the Income or Market Approach is significantly different than our market capitalization, we re-evaluate and adjust, if necessary, the assumptions underlying our Income and Market Approach models. Our estimates of the fair values of these reporting units, and the related goodwill, could change over time based on a variety of factors, including the aggregate market value of the Company’s common stock, actual operating performance of the underlying businesses or the impact of future events on the cost of capital and the related discount rates used. | |||||||||
In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company revised its business plan and downsized Goodcar’s operations. The Company reviewed Goodcar’s advertising operations and decided to cease such operations to generate advertising revenue. The Company evaluated the projected revenue and profit and costs involved to operate Goodcar’s advertising operations and concluded that it would be in the Company’s best interest to cease its operations in order for it to better focus on its core business in automobile sales, automobile value added services and financing services. The Company continues to operate Goodcar’s website to promote our products and services in other segments, including automobile sales, automobile valued added services and financing services. Due to the closing of Goodcar’s advertising operations, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $3,735,091 related to the goodwill acquired in the acquisition of Goodcar. | |||||||||

Long Term Investment | |||||||||
Investee companies that are not consolidated, but over which the Company exercises significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Whether or not the Company exercises significant influence with respect to an Investee depends on an evaluation of several factors including, among others, representation on the Investee company’s board of directors and ownership level, which is generally a 20% to 50% interest in the voting securities of the Investee company. Under the equity method of accounting, an Investee company’s accounts are not reflected within the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations; however, the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of the investee company is reflected in the caption ‘‘equity loss—share of investee company losses’’ in the consolidated statements of income.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible or are utilized. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon an assessment of the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are tested whether they are deductible or can be utilized, management believes that the deferred tax assets amounting to $155,190 and $0 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, are not more likely than not to be realized. Accordingly the Company provided a valuation allowance amounting to $155,190 and $0 against the deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had unused net operating loss carryforward from its PRC subsidiaries in the amount of approximately $615,000 which may be applied against future taxable income and begins to expire after the year 2018. | |||||||||
The Company has not provided deferred taxes on unremitted earnings attributable to its international subsidiaries as they are to be reinvested indefinitely. These earnings relate to ongoing operations and are approximately $32.6 million as of December 31, 2013. Because of the availability of US foreign tax credits, it is not practicable to determine the US income tax liability that would be payable if such earnings were not indefinitely reinvested. | |||||||||
The Company is subject to income taxes in the PRC. Tax regulations are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply.

According to the Law of the PRC on Enterprises with Wholly-Owned Foreign Investment, the Company PRC’s subsidiaries are required to make appropriations from after-tax profits as determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the PRC (“PRC GAAP”) to non-distributable reserves. These reserve funds include one or more of the following: (i) a general reserve, (ii) an enterprise expansion reserve and (iii) a staff bonus and welfare fund. A wholly-owned PRC subsidiary is not required to make appropriations to the enterprise expansion reserve but annual appropriations to the general reserve are required to be made at 10% of the profit after tax as determined under PRC GAAP at each year-end, until such fund has reached 50% of its respective registered capital. The staff welfare and bonus reserve is determined by the board of directors. The general reserve is used to offset future losses. The subsidiary may, upon a resolution passed by the stockholders, convert the general reserve into capital. The staff welfare and bonus reserve are used for the collective welfare of the employees of the subsidiary. The enterprise expansion reserve is for the expansion of the subsidiary operations and can be converted to capital subject to approval by the relevant authorities. These reserves represent appropriations of the retained earnings determined in accordance with Chinese law. | ||
In addition to the general reserve, the Company’s PRC subsidiaries are required to obtain approval from the local PRC government prior to distributing any registered share capital. Accordingly, both the appropriations to general reserve and the registered share capital of the Company’s PRC subsidiary are considered as restricted net assets and are not distributable as cash dividends. As of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company’s statutory reserve fund was approximately $3,790,000 and $3,559,000, respectively. |

Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ' | ||||||||
Basis of Presentation | ' | ||||||||
Basis of Presentation | |||||||||
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). | |||||||||
Reverse Stock Split | ' | ||||||||
Reverse Stock Split | |||||||||
On October 9, 2012, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment of its Articles of Incorporation to effect a one-for-six reverse split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. The Certificate of Amendment was effective upon filing on October 9, 2012. The Company’s stockholders, at a Special Meeting of Stockholders held on September 4, 2012, had previously authorized the Company’s Board of Directors to effect a reverse stock split at a ratio of up to one-for-six to be determined by the Board of Directors. There was no change to the authorized shares of common stock of the Company as a result of the reverse stock split. Any fraction of a share of common stock that would otherwise have resulted from the reverse split was rounded up to the next whole share. Accordingly, all references to numbers of common shares and per-share data in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effects of the reverse stock split. | |||||||||
Principles of Consolidation | ' | ||||||||
Principles of Consolidation | |||||||||
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of China Auto and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in preparation of the consolidated financial statements. | |||||||||
Use of Estimates | ' | ||||||||
Use of Estimates | |||||||||
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements include the collectibility of accounts receivable, the useful lives and impairment of property and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets, the valuation of deferred tax assets and inventories and the provisions for income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | |||||||||
Currency Reporting | ' | ||||||||
Currency Reporting | |||||||||
Amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements are stated in US Dollars, unless stated otherwise. Our functional currency is the Renminbi (“RMB”). Foreign currency transactions (outside the PRC) are translated into RMB according to the prevailing exchange rate at the transaction dates. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet dates are translated into RMB at period-end exchange rates. For the purpose of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the consolidated balance sheets of our Company have been translated into US dollars at the current rates as of the end of the respective periods and the consolidated statements of income have been translated into US dollars at the weighted average rates during the periods the transactions were recognized. The resulting translation gain adjustments are recorded as other comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income and as a separate component of the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity. | |||||||||
Fair Value Disclosures of Financial Instruments | ' | ||||||||
Fair Value Disclosures of Financial Instruments | |||||||||
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact its business, and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. | |||||||||
As a basis for considering such assumptions, a three-tier fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs utilized in measuring fair value as follows: | |||||||||
● | Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | ||||||||
● | Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. | ||||||||
● | Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. | ||||||||
The hierarchy requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company has estimated the fair value amounts of its financial instruments using the available market information and valuation methodologies considered to be appropriate and has determined that the carrying value of the Company’s accounts receivable, receivables related to financing services, notes receivable, value added tax receivable, inventories, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, advances to suppliers, bank overdraft, lines of credit related to financing services, short-term borrowings, notes payable to suppliers, accrued expenses, customer deposits, deferred revenue, due to shareholders, due to director, and income tax payable as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 approximate fair value. | |||||||||
Other Comprehensive Income | ' | ||||||||
Other Comprehensive Income | |||||||||
Other comprehensive income consists of other gains and losses affecting shareholders’ equity that, under US GAAP, are excluded from net income. The changes in other comprehensive income of $1,719,488 and $223,954 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, are foreign currency translation adjustments. | |||||||||
Concentrations of Credit Risk | ' | ||||||||
Concentrations of Credit Risk | |||||||||
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable and receivables related to financing services. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with reputable financial institutions with high credit ratings. | |||||||||
The Company conducts credit evaluations of customers and generally does not require collateral or other security from customers. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts primarily based upon the age of the receivables and factors relevant to determining the credit risk of specific customers. The amount of receivables ultimately not collected by the Company has generally been consistent with management's expectations and the allowance established for doubtful accounts. | |||||||||
Major Customers | ' | ||||||||
Major Customers | |||||||||
During the year ended December 31, 2103, one customer accounted for 15.0% of the Company’s net revenue. During the years ended December 31, 2012, one customer accounted for 16.2% of the Company’s net revenue. | |||||||||
Major Suppliers | ' | ||||||||
Major Suppliers | |||||||||
One supplier accounted for 15.6% of the Company’s purchases during the year ended December 31, 2013. One supplier accounted for 10.7% of the Company’s purchases during the year ended December 31, 2012. | |||||||||
Cash and Cash Equivalents | ' | ||||||||
Cash and Cash Equivalents | |||||||||
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash at banks and on hand and highly liquid investments which are unrestricted as to withdrawal or use, and which have remaining maturities of three months or less when purchased. The Company’s deposits in banks located in the PRC are not protected by any insurance and such uninsured amounts totaled $14,997,279 and $8,850,433 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. | |||||||||
Restricted Cash | ' | ||||||||
Restricted Cash | |||||||||
The Company is required to maintain certain amounts of cash in its banks to secure certain banks’ letters of credit issued to its customers, certain draws on its lines of credit, short-term borrowings and notes payable to suppliers. Restricted cash to secure these bank lines is not protected by any insurance and such restricted cash totaled $29,665,536 and $27,015,351 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. | |||||||||
Accounts and Notes Receivable | ' | ||||||||
Accounts and Notes Receivable | |||||||||
Accounts and notes receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management’s assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts, the aging of the accounts receivable, historical experience and other currently available evidence. Accounts and notes receivable are charged off against the allowance when collectability is determined to be permanently impaired. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had no allowance for doubtful accounts in respect of its accounts receivable; and had no allowance for doubtful accounts in respect of its notes receivable. | |||||||||
Receivables Related to Financing Services | ' | ||||||||
Receivables Related to Financing Services | |||||||||
The Company records a receivable related to financing services when cash is loaned to the customers to finance their purchases of automobiles. Upon repayments by the customers, the Company records the amounts as reductions of receivables related to financing services. Receivables related to financing services represent the aggregate outstanding balance of loans from customers related to their purchases of automobiles. The Company charges a fee for providing loan services and such fee is prepaid by the customers. The Company amortizes these fees over the receivable term, which is typically 90 days, using the straight-line method. The Company records such amortized amounts as financing fee income and the unamortized amount is classified as deferred revenue on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. | |||||||||
The Company evaluates the collectibility of outstanding receivables at the end of each of the reporting periods and makes estimates for potential credit losses. The Company has not experienced any losses on its receivable related to financing services historically and accordingly did not record any allowance of credit losses as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. | |||||||||
Inventories | ' | ||||||||
Inventories | |||||||||
Inventories consist primarily of the purchase cost of automobiles valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, reserve for obsolescence amounted to $193,379 and $0, respectively. | |||||||||
Property and Equipment, net | ' | ||||||||
Property and Equipment, net | |||||||||
Property and equipment, net are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line basis method over the following estimated useful lives: | |||||||||
Buildings and land use rights | 31 years | ||||||||
Computers | 3 to 5 years | ||||||||
Office equipment, furniture and fixtures | 3 to 5 years | ||||||||
Leasehold improvements | 5 years | ||||||||
Automobiles | 5 years | ||||||||
Long-Lived Assets | ' | ||||||||
Long-Lived Assets | |||||||||
Long-lived assets to be held and used are analyzed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of those assets are no longer appropriate. The Company evaluates at each balance sheet date whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. If there are indications of impairment, the Company uses future undiscounted cash flows of the related assets or asset grouping over the remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. In the event such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the recorded asset values, the assets are written down to their estimated fair value. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value of asset less disposal costs. The Company determined that there was no impairment of long-lived assets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. | |||||||||
Goodwill | ' | ||||||||
Goodwill | |||||||||
Goodwill arising from business combinations represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets of the businesses acquired. | |||||||||
Goodwill is tested annually for impairment, during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year, or more frequently if circumstances indicate the possibility of impairment. Significant judgments required to estimate fair value include estimating future cash flows, and determining appropriate discount rates, growth rates and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value which could trigger impairment. | |||||||||
In evaluating goodwill for impairment using the two-step test to identify any potential impairment and to measure any amount of impairment, the first step is based upon a comparison of the fair value of each of the Company’s reporting units and the carrying value of the reporting unit’s net assets, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is considered not to be impaired; otherwise, step two is required. Under step two, the implied fair value of goodwill, calculated as the difference between the fair value of the reporting unit and the fair value of the reporting unit’s net assets, is compared with the carrying value of the goodwill. The excess of the carrying value of goodwill over the implied fair value represents the amount impaired. | |||||||||
The Company uses a combination of valuation techniques, primarily using discounted cash flows to determine the fair values of its reporting units and market based multiples as supporting evidence. The variables and assumptions used, all of which are level 3 fair value inputs, including the projections of future revenues and expenses, working capital, terminal values, discount rates and long term growth rates. The market multiples observed in sale transactions are determined separately for each reporting unit are based on the weighted average cost of capital determined for each of the Company’s reporting units. In addition we make certain judgments about the selection of comparable companies used in determining market multiples in valuing our reporting units, as well as certain assumptions to allocate shared assets and liabilities to calculate values for each of our reporting units. The underlying assumptions used are based on historical actual experience and future expectations that are consistent with those used in the Company’s strategic plan. The Company compares the fair value of each of its reporting units to their respective carrying values, including related goodwill. We also compare our book value and the estimates of fair value of the reporting units to our market capitalization as of and at dates near the annual testing date. Management uses this comparison as additional evidence of the fair value of the Company, as our market capitalization may be suppressed by other factors such as the control premium associated with a controlling shareholder, our leverage or general expectations regarding future operating results and cash flows. In situations where the implied value of the Company under the Income or Market Approach is significantly different than our market capitalization, we re-evaluate and adjust, if necessary, the assumptions underlying our Income and Market Approach models. Our estimates of the fair values of these reporting units, and the related goodwill, could change over time based on a variety of factors, including the aggregate market value of the Company’s common stock, actual operating performance of the underlying businesses or the impact of future events on the cost of capital and the related discount rates used. | |||||||||
In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company revised its business plan and downsized Goodcar’s operations. The Company reviewed Goodcar’s advertising operations and decided to cease such operations to generate advertising revenue. The Company evaluated the projected revenue and profit and costs involved to operate Goodcar’s advertising operations and concluded that it would be in the Company’s best interest to cease its operations in order for it to better focus on its core business in automobile sales, automobile value added services and financing services. The Company continues to operate Goodcar’s website to promote our products and services in other segments, including automobile sales, automobile valued added services and financing services. Due to the closing of Goodcar’s advertising operations, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $3,735,091 related to the goodwill acquired in the acquisition of Goodcar. | |||||||||
In November 2013, the Company recorded goodwill in the amount of $20,107,700 as a result of the Zhonghe acquisition. As of December 31, 2013, no indication of goodwill impairment existed. | |||||||||

Long Term Investment | ' | ||||||||
Long Term Investment | |||||||||
Investee companies that are not consolidated, but over which the Company exercises significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Whether or not the Company exercises significant influence with respect to an Investee depends on an evaluation of several factors including, among others, representation on the Investee company’s board of directors and ownership level, which is generally a 20% to 50% interest in the voting securities of the Investee company. Under the equity method of accounting, an Investee company’s accounts are not reflected within the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations; however, the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of the investee company is reflected in the caption ‘‘equity loss—share of investee company losses’’ in the consolidated statements of income. The Company’s carrying value in an equity method investee company is reflected in the caption ‘‘ownership interests in investee company’’ in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. | |||||||||
When the Company’s carrying value in an equity method Investee company is reduced to zero, no further losses are recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements unless the Company guaranteed obligations of the Investee company or has committed additional funding. When the investee company subsequently reports income, the Company will not record its share of such income until it equals the amount of its share of losses not previously recognized. | |||||||||
